WHY A HIVE SCALE?
During our testing, when we were developing the scale, we noticed some interesting behavior of two hives. (The beekeeper with these two scales neglected to look at his Hive Scale data due to a computer failure.)

Hive Robbing

Hive Swarm
Both of these hives could have been saved if the beekeeper monitored the trend in the weight of the hive. If bees are managed properly, swarms and disease can be prevented. The Wi-Fi Hive Scale provides the essential data required by the beekeeper to manage the hives and preempt monetary loss.
Below is a video that summarizes all of the hive events that beekeepers have seen using the WiFi Hive Scale over the life of this product. The information gained from monitoring the weight of the hive can help beekeepers manage their hive.
Using the data to avoid a catastrophic event, like a swarm, or robbing, as well as to monitor the basic strength of the hive, to optimize when to extract, etc, the will pay for the scale quickly.
